LAST YEAR THE TWO MAJOR A LOT OF ATTENTION TO NEW BUT NOW THAT THE ELECTION IS NEW MEXICO'S DEPENDENCY ONE OUT OF FOUR WORKERS IN NEW OUR MILITARY BASES IMPORTANT ECONOMIC FACTORS, AT THE SAME TIME, DECISIONS AND RULINGS ON ENVIRONMENTAL A QUICK LOOK AT THE MAP IN RED, WE SEE INDIAN LANDS BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, FOR ITEMS LIKE SCHOOLS, SOCIAL THIRTEEN OF NEW MEXICO'S BY THE DEPARTMENT NEXT, IN GREEN, WE SEE LANDS THESE INCLUDE AREAS WHERE GAS

IN BROWN, WE SEE DEPARTMENT INCLUDES OUR FOUR MILITARY WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE AND OVER IN THE EASTERN PART FINALLY, IN BLUE, WE SEE ALL INCLUDE FOREST SERVICE, FISH THE COMBINED MAP IS CLEAR JOINING ME TO DISCUSS RICHARD WATERMAN, POLITICAL DON HANCOCK, FOR THE SOUTHWEST AND HARRY MESSENHEIMER, >> Arcie: THANK YOU, EVERYONE, RICHARD, I'M GOING TO START DO YOU THINK THAT NEW MEXICO >> Richard: I THINK AS LONG IN OFFICE, I THINK THAT IT IS

ONE HAS TO UNDERSTAND DOMENICI IS NOT ONLY IMPORTANT TO THE SUCCESS OF THE BUSH TAX HE HOLDS A CRITICAL POSITION AND SO, IF HE WANTS TO GET -- HIS PROGRAM THROUGH, HE IS AND I THINK THAT DOWN TO AN ISSUE OF BASE CLOSING, TO BUILD SOME SUPPORT IN TERMS >> Arcie: WELL, THE DOMINANT AND I'M GOING TO ASK >> Harry: WELL, WHEN A BASE ONE IN FOUR OF OUR RESIDENTS BUT WHEN A BASE CLOSES,

YOU HAVE THE RETAIL STORES SO, THE PROBLEM IS REALLY ON THE FEDERAL EMPLOYEES, AND SO EACH STATE WHICH IS NOW, THAT DOESN'T MEAN BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE BY WHICH THE IMPACT >> Arcie: MR. HANCOCK, DO YOU THINK THAT -- I GUESS DO YOU THINK NEW MEXICO IS >> Don: I WOULD EXPECT THAT ONE, THE ONE THAT MR. WATERMAN OF THE POLITICAL IMPORTANCE AND THE OTHER IS THAT EACH

SO, FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN THERE KIRTLAND, WHAT IMPACT WOULD THERE IS NO OTHER BASE LIKE THE COMBINATION OF KIRTLAND SO, UNLESS YOU'RE GOING THE MISSION NOT ONLY AND THE SAME THING THERE IS ONLY ONE OTHER PLACE WHERE YOU'VE GOT SUCH A LARGE FOR TRAINING AND BOMBING, SO, A LOT OF OUR BASES, UNIQUE ROLE, AND THEREFORE, NOT THAT WE HAVE SURPLUS WE NEED TO GET RID OF SANDIA BUT I DON'T SEE THAT HAPPENING IF ANYTHING, THE BUSH

ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE AND, OF COURSE, A LOT SO, I MEAN, THOSE THINGS SEEM >> Arcie: MR. MESSENHEIMER WHAT ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENTAL >> Don: WELL, SOME OF THEM ONE OF THE THINGS, OF COURSE, CONCERNED ABOUT ARE THOSE FROM THE KIND OF HAZARDOUS ONE OF THE ISSUES, OF COURSE, OF THE THINGS WE FOUND OUT IS SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T SAVE TALKED ABOUT BECAUSE BEFORE THAT BASE GETS TURNED

NEEDS TO BE CLEANED UP SOME, SO, IN THE CASE OF -- I MEAN, I CAN SEE NO CIRCUMSTANCE BUT THERE'S A LOT OF ORDINANCE SO, AT SOME OF THE BASES, IT BUT THEY DO HAVE I MEAN, A LOT OF NEW MEXICO'S NUCLEAR WEAPONS, WHICH >> Arcie: RIGHT. DR. WATERMAN, DO YOU THINK THAT WE ARE GOING >> Richard: I THINK THERE IS AND THERE IS NOW A SENSE PREPAREDNESS IN A DIFFERENT BUT POLITICS IS GOING TO PLAY AND FOR NEW MEXICO, IT WOULD

THE ECONOMY HERE, SO DEPENDENT ON FEDERAL FUNDS OF THE THINGS THEY LOOK AND THIS STATE WOULD BE OF KIRTLAND, OR WHITE SANDS, AND WHEN YOU HAVE TIE-INS AND THE OTHER LABS SO, AGAIN, WITH DOMENICI FACTORS GOING ON HERE, I JUST IF IT DOES OCCUR, IT WOULD BE >> Arcie: WELL, I'M GOING THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION IS FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, BUT, WHAT ARE THE CUTS, DO >> Richard: WELL, I HAD READ SIGNALED TO THE BUSH

ON THE ONE HAND, HIS JOB IS THE PRESIDENT'S BUDGET BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, THE VOTES AREN'T THERE, SO, I THINK ANY CUTS THAT ARE ARE PROBABLY SPECULATIVE BUT THERE IS CLEARLY A MOVE AND SO I THINK THAT ANY KINDS AND SO I THINK THAT ANY KINDS ARE GOING TO BE CROWDED OUT IN THE SENATE ARE ABLE >> Arcie: DO YOU THINK HE WILL >> Richard: HE HAS BEEN AND I THINK THAT IT IS A HUGE DEPENDENCY ON OIL ALONE IS NOT THAT WE REALLY NEED TO BE

NOT ONLY ALTERNATIVE SOURCES SO, I THINK THERE'S GOING ABOUT THOSE KINDS OF THINGS >> Arcie: DON, IT LOOKS LIKE >> Don: WELL, I THINK THAT'S I THINK THE THING THAT UNDERSTAND, WHEN YOU'RE THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY ABOUT CUTTING THE ONE-THIRD IN FACT, IT APPEARS THAT THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IN, BECAUSE SO MUCH OF THAT MOST OF THE CUTS, WHAT I HEAR, FROM MOST STATES ARE TALKING AND SAVANNAH RIVER, SOUTH DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

AND SO, WHAT YOU'RE GOING WELL, THAT'S GOING TO HAVE EFFECTS ON PEOPLE AND SOUTH CAROLINA AND GEORGIA BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO CUT, AND SO I THINK IT IS YOU ARE GOING TO CUT SOME SO, FROM A NEW MEXICO GOING TO GET INCREASED MONEY IT'S A VERY SMALL PART BUT SMALL CUTS IN TERMS AND AS DR. WATERMAN MENTIONED, ESPECIALLY, HAS GOT A LITTLE WHICH I FULLY AGREE WITH HIM,

>> Harry: I HAVE ANOTHER >> Arcie: OKAY. >> Harry: I THINK MARKETS WORK AND I THINK THAT'S SHOWN OF STUDY WE HAVE DONE ACROSS WHEN THERE IS MORE RELIANCE AND REALLY, THIS ALTERNATIVE MY PERSPECTIVE, IS REALLY WHETHER YOU'RE TALKING IF YOU WOULD LET THE PRICE IF YOU LOOK AT THE CALIFORNIA THERE WOULD BE PLENTY MECHANISM WAS ALLOWED TO WORK, TO PRODUCE ENERGY, WHETHER IT NOW, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT AND THERE PROBABLY SHOULD BE

FOR EXAMPLE, ON COAL AND HOW THOSE PARTICULAR REGULATIONS, AS WE TEND TO EXPAND OUR POWER DETERMINE IT WITH SOME SORT POLICY THAT LIMITS THE AMOUNT >> Richard: I THINK THAT JUST EXPRESSED IS GOING TO BE I THINK THEY ARE GOING TO SEE WHAT I WOULD CONSIDER TO BE AND I THINK THAT THE ONLY WAY WILL BE ELEVATED ON THE AGENDA I DON'T THINK THE BUSH >> Arcie: HOW IS THIS ENERGY ABOUT, THE ENERGY CRISIS --

THE ENERGY CRISIS SHORTAGE A LOT OF IT, I'VE READ CRITICS CRISIS TO BEGIN TALK OF OIL WHICH IS THE ENVIRONMENTAL ADMINISTRATION IS GOING TO DO, RICHARD, I'LL GO AHEAD AND LET TO ATTACK THE DEMOCRATS, AND WHAT REAGAN WOULD DO IS, EVEN IF THINGS WERE BAD NOW, AND GEORGE W., ALMOST SINCE COURT MADE ITS DECISION ONE HAS BEEN TO TALK AND NOW HE IS TALKING AND I THINK IT IS CLEAR THAT

AND IT IS CLEAR THAT WE DO BUT I THINK WHAT HE IS DOING SELF-FULFILLING PROPHECIES REAGAN WOULD TRY TO LEAVE US AND I THINK THAT THIS IS TO TAKE, BECAUSE IF THINGS BLAME HIM FOR IT, EVEN IN REALITY, SIMPLY ESSENTIALLY, YOU CAN GO BACK CARTER WAS BLAMED FOR A LOT BUT HE JUST SET THE TONE >> Arcie: DON, WHAT DO THE IMPACT TO NEW MEXICO >> Don: WELL, WE ARE A MAJOR ALREADY IN NEW MEXICO, PROBABLY LEAD TO YET MORE THERE'S GOING TO BE OIL

AND YOU TALK ABOUT ARE A LOT OF ENVIRONMENTAL WE HAVE DONE A LOT OF WORK AS LONG AS IT IS A FEW PEOPLE DON'T PAY VERY MUCH ATTENTION SICK AND WATER GETS SO, THERE ARE GOING TO BE THERE WILL BE MORE MONEY. THIS YEAR, THE NEW MEXICO TO WORK WITH BECAUSE OF WHAT'S SO, AS THERE ARE HIGHER THE QUESTION IS, THE KIND HAS ON PEOPLE AND HEALTH OUR CONCERN IS ABOUT HOW ALLOCATE RESOURCES >> Arcie: SO, YOU THINK THAT

>> Don: THAT'S CLEARLY WHAT IF YOU'RE GOING TO LET THE MARKET DOESN'T NECESSARILY OF HEALTH PROBLEMS THAT CAUSE THE MARKET IS NOT A VERY GOOD BECAUSE THE MARKET DOESN'T THE WAY IT DOES TAKE IT BUT TOO OFTEN, THAT'S NOT AND IT SEEMS TO ME WHAT'S WE ARE GOING TO FURTHER REDUCE PROTECTIONS, WHICH HELPS DOESN'T HELP THE COMMUNITIES >> Harry: I AGREE SOMEWHAT HOWEVER, I'M A CLASSICAL NOT ALL THE TIME,

THE FACTORY PUTS THE SMOKE INTO ACCOUNT THE HARM THAT'S BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN TO TAKE AN EXAMPLE, THERE IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE THEN YOU'RE $999,000 AND SO, FREEDOM AND MARKETS IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THERE IS BUT IT DOES MEAN THAT WE HAVE EVALUATION OF THE TRADE-OFFS, >> Arcie: RICHARD, DID >> Richard: NO.
